Notes
Peter Aldis' goal was the first in his senior career and a record-breaker, being the longest distance headed goal known to have been scored in senior football up to that point. His header from nearly 35 yards bounced over Threadgold, who was distracted by the challenge of Walsh. The record stood until 2009.
